Sakamoto: 49ers Acquire Jeremy Kerley From Lions For OG Brandon Thomas

The San Francisco 49ers have a huge need at the wide receiver position. A position that took a huge hit, once WR Bruce Ellington went down with a hamstring injury against the Green Bay Packers, the 49ers needed to add an insurance policy as they field their best 53-man roster.

Welcome, sixth-year WR/PR Jeremy Kerley. A steal for the 49ers, as they struck a deal by sending 2014 third-round pick (No. 100) OG Brandon Thomas to the Detroit Lions, the 49ers clearly won this trade.
